Promoting quality, equitable, and inclusive learning is a foundational tenet of USAID’s Education Policy. But access to learning is not enough. The ultimate goal of USAID’s education work is to achieve sustained, measurable improvements in learning outcomes and skills for all learners. Children with disabilities are still 49 percent more likely to have never attended school, and 42 percent less likely to achieve basic skills, than their peers without disabilities. To address these inequities, USAID is committed to increasing disability-inclusive education initiatives and equipping staff and partners with resources to make quality education a reality for learners with disabilities.
This brief summarizes USAID’s efforts to advance disability-inclusive education during the 2022 fiscal year (FY).
